Several weeks ago I was invited to join Lizzi, Suzanne and Greta as part of a studio/collective once University is over in June. It took a couple of weeks of deciding if this was in fact something that I can go through with.
Once university is finished, with regards to my personal life, I have certain requirements that need me to have a full time and guaranteed income, this would not occur with a studio start up.
After weighing up the pros and cons of joining or staying solo and getting a full time design job has led me to the path of combining the two. I need an income, so I can work for garaunteed hours and wage in the job I currently hold, whilst I am not working at the hotel, I will join the studio. There are concerns that we are not completeing enough work as a collaboration at present, this will help us set up a studio much more successfully.
A studio looking for clients with no work to show is pointless.
From this point onwards we will be holding regular structured meetings to flesh out what needs to be done, what projects can be worked on and how we will work towards getting a studio and clients. There is no name for the studio at this point either, this is less of a worry to us because we don't want to rush something that important.
